'ORNAMENTAL COMBINATION woon, COAL; OIL, AND xnnosnnn, s'rovn I Application filed November To alien/tom it may concern Be it known that l. Para llinmi. citizen of CzechoSlovakia, residing at est; New York. in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Orna- .n1ental Combination 00d, Coal. Oil. and

Kerosene Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to stoves, having more particular reference to a stove arranged either to burn coal or to have an The invention has for a general object to provide an improvcd'stove,ofthe kind set forth above, and further to provide a simple means for'the simultaneous controlj of a multiplicity of burner wicks.

For further comprehension of the invention; and or" the 'objefcts; and advantages thereof,' reference will be hadto the following description and accompanying drawings and to the appended claims in which thevarious novel features oftheinvention are more particularly set forth.

regulating means.

Fig. 5 is a-detail'plan View of the oil burner.

Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view on' the line 66 of Fig. 5.

Fig. 7- is a detail elevation of the wick Fig. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary horizontal section on the line 88 of Fig. 6.

As here embodied my-improved stove comprises a baselO above which is an ash-pit 11 separated by a grate 12. from a fire-pot 13 of approximately globular shape. Above the fire-pot 13 is a vertically disposed cylin-- drical member 14': hinged at one-side to the fire-pot as at 15. The sides'of the fire-pot 13 and cylinder 14 are shown as provided with'ornamental scroll-straps 16 and 17 one' of the latter supporting the cylinder 14 in a horizontal position when swung open.- The s ecification of Letters Patent.

cylinder 14 is close'd'a-t its upper end by a top 18' in which" isa remox' 'able lid i 19. The vertical wall of cylinder l'extends above the top '18 in the form of an annular flange uponwhic'h is seated an ornamental basin '20 provided with 'a' series of vase-like elements 21 in which flowers may be kept, as indicated in Fig. 3. Just belowthe top 18 a flue opening 22 for the escape of the gases is provided. this opening'beingadapted to be 'connectedby suitable piping,

which is indicated at 23, to the chimney.

The cylinder l t-hasprovidedtherein be low the-opening 22, an qv'en 25"closfed by a door 26. draft spaces'being left between the sides'jof thi Owen n e Walls dfathe cylinder.

a portion of The grate 12 is preferably ojf-the'lilting l type, liay ing trunnion elements 28 suitably supported in "the stove wa'lls,;one'0fthese trunnion elements being *formed with "a squared end adapted to receive a suitable handle. grate 12 rests at opposite sides on {a fixed stop 29 "and a movablest 30, the latter being. int'h'e form of a short arm pivoted as at 31am provided with'an operating handle 32. 5

"The top of the base 1 0 formsthebottomi of the ash-pit 11 and islforine'd with a circular depression 34 throughout which a number of openings 35 are spaced. 1 A sitter disk 36 rests-inthis' depression being pivoted for rotation therein as at 37 and is provided with a number of-op'enings 38. Fixed to the disk 36 is a handle39 which extends out ward'through a suitable arcuate'slot in'the annular wall of the depression 34. An ash- -'pan 40 may be supported below the depression 34 to receive the ashes. The ash-pit 11 and fire-pot 13 are provided with suitable hinged doors 42 and 43. t

In the useof the stove coal or like solid fuel is preferably burned during the winter,

an oil burner being inserted in the fire-pot- 13 for use in the summer months.

' When oil'is to be utilized as the fuel for the stove the oil burner shown in Figs. 5 and 6 is placed in the fire-pot 13, resting upon the grate 12. This burner comprises a circular receptacle or bowl 45 having a flat top 16 in which a number of parallel rows of short vertical tubes 47 are fixed the tubes 47 extending downward for a distance into the bow]. and having flared upper ends'located just above the bowl top 46. Round wicks 48 are insertedinthese tubes 47'depending'be- .one side as at 55 to accommodate the starwheels 54. The shaft 50 has a knurled head 56 on one end for purposes of rotation.

The bowl 45 has hinged to one side thereof as at 60 a flat disk cover- 61 which is utilized to extinguish the flames of the wicks as follows Thebowl 45 isof less-size than the firepot 13, being insertible in the fire-pot through the top-of the latter when the 'cylfinder 14 is thrown back. Fixed to the cover -Gl, a shortdistance-from its hinge point 60, is-an ear 65- which is connected by a link -56: with ia lug 67.0n'the fire-pot wall. By

.move the v 'm oving' the bowl 45 backward or forward in the fire-pot the cover 61 is caused toxolose or open by'the action of link 66 thereon. To bowl 45 back and forward a rodGS is ifixed thereto-.and passes. outwardly .through a suitableopening'in the. firebox.

Incase it is: not deslred to use the cover opening andclosing means just described a finger 70 is pivoted in the cylinder 14 and has a handle 71 connected to it whereby it may be turned to engage with, or disengage from, the cover 61 to hold the latter raised. 1 If it is desired to use the oil burnerabove the "bowl .45. may be supported on a stand 7 5 while a suitable grill 76 may be supported 1 above the bowl to receive the cooking untenysils. I

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire toprotect by Letters Patent of the United States, is as follows:

1, I In a stove, a fire-pot, an oilburner resting freely in said fire-pot and movable bodily therein, and a cover for said oil burner adapted. to be automatically opened and closedupon movement of'said burner in opposite directions in said fire-pot.

2. An oil burner comprising a bowl, a series of rows of vertical tubes extending into said bowl from the top thereof, wicks in said tubes, a series of shafts extending along adjacent said rows of tubes, toothed wheels on said shafts adapted to engage said wicks,

a shaft extending transversely to the said se ries of shafts, a plurality of worm pinions on said lastshaft, and worm gears on the said series of shafts engaged by the said worm pinions.

0. An oil burner compr sing a bowl, a series of rows of vertical tubes extending into said bowl from the top thereof, wicks in said tubes, a seriesof shafts extending along ad'- jacent said rows of tubes, toothed wheels on said shafts adapted to engage said wicks,

a shaft extending transversely to the said serles of shafts, a plurality. of worm pinions on saidlast shaft, and worm gears on the.

said seriesof shafts engaged by the said worm pinions,'the said tubes being cut out at one side foraccess: of the said toothed wheels to the said WlCkS.

4. In a stove, a fire-pot, an Oll burnerrest-I mg freely in said fire-potand movable bod ily therein, a cover hinged to said oil burner, and means for clos ng or opening SZLlClCOYBl uponmovemento-f said oil burner in opposite directions in said fire-pot. x 1 5. In a stove, a fire-pot,an oil burner resting freely in said fire-pot and mova'ble bodily therein, a coverhinged to said oil burner,

and ineainsfor"closingor opening said cover pen movement of said: oilburner in opposite directions in said fire-pot,said-1neans comprising a lug fixed to theiirepot, an ear fixed to the cover, and a link connecting said lug and ear. Y

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature. r
